Hi,

I want to go fishing/camping in my 1990 Nissan with a SMALL camper
(I think they're called "camperettes") on the back, towing my small boat
(12ft aluminum skiff, with some addons like a floor so I can't just heave
it on top).

The problem: even the smallest of campers are wider than the truck, and
I don't think I could see the boat at all behind me. How do you back it
down the ramp? REALLY wide mirrors (there goes the ol' fuel economy!)?
Closed-cct tv? Surely there are others that do this...

You don't need the mirrors when tooling down the highway -- get a set
that clamp on, and use them only when backing. A couple of pieces of
plastic pipe painted red, and stuck to the rear corners of your trailer
)or boat) will help also
